Diagnostics
Diagnostics information can be obtained by observing the fault codes issued by
the Status LED’s or as displayed on the Spyglass. See Table below for a summary
of LED display formats.

The 1311 programmer will display all faults that are currently set as well as a
history of the faults that have been set since the history log was last cleared. The
1311 displays the faults by name.

Summary of LED display formats


The two LEDs have four different display modes, indicating the type of
information they are providing.

Display Status
Neither LED Illuminated Controller is not powered on; or
vehicle has dead battery; or severe
damage
Yellow LED flashing Controller is operating normally.
Yellow and red LEDs both on solid Controller is in Flash program mode

Red LED on solid Watchdog failure or no software


loaded. Cycle KSI to restart, and if
necessary load software.

Red LED and yellow LED flashing Controller has detected a fault. 2-digit
alternately code flashed by yellow LED identifies
the specific fault; one or two flashes
by red LED indicate whether first or
second code digit will follow.

The pair of LEDs built into the controller (one red, one yellow) produce flash
codes displaying all the currently set faults in a repeating cycle. Each code consists
of two digits. The red LED flashes once to indicate that the first digit of the code
will follow; the yellow LED then flashes the appropriate number of times for the
first digit. The red LED flashes twice to indicate that the second digit of the code
will follow; the yellow LED flashes the appropriate number of times for the second
digit.

Example: Battery Undervoltage (code 23).

In the Fault menu of the 1311 programmer, the words Undervoltage Cutback
will be displayed; the real-time battery voltage is displayed in the Monitor menu
(“Keyswitch Voltage”).The controller’s two LEDs will display this repeating
pattern:

RED YELLOW RED YELLOW


✱ ✲✲ ✱✱ ✲✲✲
(first digit) (2) (second digit) (3)

With this software package, not all of the codes below will be displayed on the
Spyglass or enGage VII. We have only utilized faults that are pertinent to our
software package.
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting chart below provides the following information on all the
controller faults:

• fault code
• fault name as displayed on the programmer’s LCD
• the effect of the fault
• possible causes of the fault
• fault set conditions
• fault clear conditions

Whenever a fault is encountered and no wiring or vehicle fault can be found, shut
off KSI and turn it back on to see if the fault clears. If it does not, shut off KSI and
remove the 35-pin connector. Check the connector for corrosion or damage,
clean it if necessary, and re-insert it.
